Officially, Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is on January 15th, but we celebrate the holiday as a nation on January 18th (this coming Monday). This gives us all a three-day weekend to remember and honor this amazing person, which most of us do by thoroughly enjoying our time off. Why not take this time to visit Asheville, NC and partake in some celebratory holiday offerings?? When you stay in one of our mountain vacation cabins this weekend for three nights, enjoy a dinner at Zambra on us! Carolina Mornings gifts our patrons this weekend in celebration: a $50 gift certificate to Zambra for FREE!! And, what is a birthday celebration without ice cream? You choose when you go, and we provide the funds: a $10 gift certificate to The Hop Ice cream Parlor! What a way to celebrate the birthday of a legend: three nights in the beautiful mountain retreat of your choice; $50 FREE DINNER; and $10 in celebratory ICE CREAM!! You can't beat it (starting to sound like a perfect idea for my birthday, too:)!!
While you visit Asheville, honor MLK by attending one of the local events out on in his name:
-Monday at 7:30am begins a Prayer Breakfast at Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat
Center, with Asheville's Mayor Terry Bellamy as the keynote speaker.
-Monday, Asheville will gather at 11:30am to begin a Peace March and Rally at noon. The
Asheville MLK Association will be leading this march from Nazareth First Baptist Church to the
MLK Park.
-Monday there is a Candlelight Service at 6pm to honor local organizations who are working to
live King's teachings. This event will be at St. Matthias Episcopal Church.
Whether you choose to honor in the peaceful space of your Asheville vacation rental or you choose to gather with community, you are sure to enjoy yourself this weekend here in Asheville, NC!! Carolina Mornings will ensure it, with dinner and ice cream on us!
